It replaces complex manual API setups with a simple, plug-and-play experience.\n\n### Important Prerequisite\nTo use the Veo model, your Google Cloud project **must have billing enabled**. The feature is not available on the free tier and may incur charges.\n\n\n### Who Is This For?\n* **Marketers & Content Creators**\n  Quickly create B-roll, ad clips, or social content from text prompts.\n* **Filmmakers & Artists**\n  Prototype scenes and visualize ideas without filming.\n* **Anyone exploring AI video generation**\n  Use Google\u2019s Veo model without any manual API work.\n\n### What the Workflow Does\n* **Define Prompt**\n  Write a text prompt in the `1. Set Video Prompt` node.\n* **Trigger**\n  Manually run the workflow with one click.\n* **Generate**\n  The Gemini node sends the prompt to the Veo model and generates a video.\n* **Output**\n  Returns a binary video file ready to save or share.\n\n### Setup Instructions\n**1. Enable Google Cloud Billing**\nMake sure your Google Cloud project has billing activated.\n**2. Add Credentials**\nAdd your Google AI (Gemini) credentials in n8n.\n**3. Set the Prompt**\nOpen the `1. Set Video Prompt` node and write your video idea.\n**4. Activate Workflow**\nSave and activate the workflow.\n**5. Run It**\nClick \u201cExecute Workflow\u201d to generate a video.\n\n### Requirements\n* n8n (Cloud or Self-Hosted)\n* Google Cloud Project with billing enabled\n* Google AI (Gemini) credentials linked to that project\n\n### Customization Ideas\n* **Save Output**\n  Add a Google Drive, Dropbox, or S3 node to store the video.\n* **Post Automatically**\n  Connect social media nodes (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, etc.) to publish content.\n\n* **Generate in Bulk**\n  Replace the Set node with Google Sheets or Airtable to generate multiple videos from a list of prompts.\n"
